Equivalentes Ad Valorem para medidas não tarifárias sob mercados imperfeitos e incertezas

Arbeitspapier

This study estimated ad-valorem equivalent (AVE) for non-tariff measures (NTM) applied by 81 countries to 5.321 products in six-digit products of the harmonized system (HS). For that, the study follow the method developed by Kee, Nicita e Olarreaga (2009) and the contributions brought by Beghin, Disdier e Marette (2015) to consider imperfect markets. The Monte Carlo method was applied to consider the uncertainty in the elasticities values, following Hallren e Opanasets (2018). The results show that the average AVE of the entire sample of countries is 104.89%, being more intense in the manufacturing sector. Negative AVEs are found mainly in the products of the chemical industry, electrical material and footwear. For Brazil, the results show that, on average, imports from the country are more expensive by 89%, being more intense also in manufactured products. The HS chapters most affected in Brazil are dairy products, metals (lead), cereal-based preparations and special fabrics. The sensitivity analysis shows that most AVE obtained by the employed methodology remains stable when elasticities vary. This study offers three contributions: i) the AVEs are estimated for products in the more actual version of HS, published in 2017; ii) allows negative AVEs, considering imperfect markets for a wide range of NTMs; and iii) evaluates the sensitivity of AVEs to variations in elasticities, admitting uncertainty.
